[Verse 1:]I don't stop rappin
Ever since the very first day
I grabbed the microphone, made a funky ass tape
I had sixteen hoes
Suckin ten toes
Game from the "O"
An any real pimp knows
The only love hoes get is what they paid fo
Gimme my scratch
What the fuck I'm a stay fo?
I gotta make moves bitch
Stack some G'sFrom the ho stroll
To my fax machine
I got money comin in from everywhere
From New York
To L.A.,
To the mutha fuckin Bay
It's true
I'm the man G
I'm underground 106 can't ban me
All on the air sayin they don't fuck wit me no moI go back wit rap like K-P-O-O
From the very first time I grabbed the mic
Niggas smokin burner
Ready to fight
I don't promote violence
I'm from Oakland where the real kick it
You might get killed nigga
Or make a mill ticket
Move down south cuz the town is wild
Now the radio jocks wanna clown my style
I raised too many rappers you support
Ask 'em who they grew up on.... TOO $HORT
Fuck all that black ball shit it won't lastKMEL y'all can kiss my ass

[verse 4:]
Niggas shootin at the studio late at night
Seen a Charokee
Started shootin at Spice
At the E-40 picnic out in the park
Niggas gather round fo some shit to start
They had bullets wit my name
But we never got to me
See me sucka mutha fucka
Shootin at the street
It was me
Boo, Howard, an Jock
A full clip
One in the chamber an it blockin T.B.,
Still tryin to be my pimp
I could lose my life
Or give my money to him
I'd rather die before you use me
I tried to buy him out
The nigga sued me

[Outro:]
An that's where it stands right now y'all. Fo the mutha fuckaz that
Don't know, like the Notorious say, "If you don't know, now you know."
BIATCH!!

This song was a response to The Luniz and KMEL radio station. Around this time Too $hort and The Luniz (which included rapper Yukmouth) were in a beef after the latter group dissed him on a song of theirs called “Playa Hater” (“That’s why The Town got rid of $hort”, which is also the hook of this song). At Summer Jam concert in the Bay Area the both of their respective crews came face to face in which a full blown brawl erupted. This incident caused KMEL radio to ban Too $hort for a brief time; in this song $hort basically breaks down how the whole sitution got started.
